| 6:53pm | xxxHolic - 36 | | | | Now this was an awesome episode! I’m glad to see that the creators were able to play with the manga chapters in such a way to save the best story for last. In fact, I wouldn’t mind if the Himawari-arc would close off the xxxHolic anime, because in this way, the series would leave you in... | | |

| 12:14am | xxxHolic Kei Episode 12 Impression | | | | Wow. just. wow. The animation and character design quality in this episode really impressed! All of the characters just looked so fresh and natural and very well represented. Out of all the episodes of the series this one was by far the best drawn. Some shots were even on par with the xxxHolic Movie!Voice... | | |
| 7:52pm | xxxHOLiC Kei #12 — Witchy Woman | | | | But which one? Impressions: A pretty decent end to the Himawari arc, but after the last episode being stretched out to hell and back again, this one was almost verbatim what I remembered in the manga, so at the same time, it wasn’t really all that interesting to me. About the only visually... | | |
| 3:52pm | Crystal Blaze - 11 | | | | Talk about an excellent first half of a finale! 12-episode series shouldn’t have “calm before the storm”-episodes. It wastes a precious episode that could have been used so much better, and all these episodes to fill time until the next episode, when the big climax is going to happen.... | | |
| 1:04am | xxxHOLiC Kei 11 - What a relief. | | | | Oh noes, it’s finally here!Flavor: SweetI guess I don’t really have much to say about this episode other than everything was done just like how it was supposed to although the first part seemed to drag out a lot and it had a bunch more of “omg there’s something wrong with Himawari!”... | | |

AYUSE KOZUE (25.7MB, PSP/Quicktime format) | Abbreviated Live Performance (YouTube video) The first time I heard the song as xxxHOLiC Kei ED theme, I thought the song was just okay. I just didn't get the groove of the song in the TV version of the song. Besides, Mokona,... | | |
| 10:55pm | xxxholic kei episode 11 |  | | | So, in my personal opinion, it’s not too often you see something done incredibly better in the anime then the manga. Especially with the low-grade animation of xxxholic kei against xxxholic’s gorgeous art. Yet, it happened.Episode 11 opens with Watanuki walking home with Himawari. He bids... | | |

| 5:56pm | xxxHolic Kei episode 9 & 10 review |  | | | Episode 9 - ‘Rumours’Ok first off, I’m putting episode 9’s review first because I find it to be probably the best episode yet, and I have a lot to say about it. xxxHolic’s plot structure is special because of the way it drops hints within episodes and revisits them later, alluding... | | |
| 9:22am | xxxHolic Kei Episode 11 Impression | | | | While the Kohane episodes really bored me to tears and almost turned me off the series completely, this episode which finally dealt with Himawari after seasons of hints as to her mysterious true nature.Flashbacks were done really well (and I hope they do more in the next episode to show just how much... | | |
